Rebecca Warren
(Born 1965)
Rebecca Warren (b.1965) received her MFA from Chelsea College of Art and Design in 1992. Immediately following, Warren was an artist-in-residence at the Ruskin School at Oxford University. Warren came to prominence in the early 1990s with her large, raw clay sculptures of extravagantly proportioned female forms. Since then she has established herself making sculptures, assemblages, and constructions in a wide variety of materials including clay, bronze, steel, and neon. With a preference for ambiguity of form and meaning she has said of her work that "it comes from a strange nowhere, then gradually something comes out into the light. There are impulses, half-seen shapes, things that might have stuck with you from decades ago, as well as more recently. It's all stuff in the world going through you as a filter…"
